System Connection Overview

The PPA T45 is an FM Wide-Band transmitter operating in the 72-76MHz bandwidth. Compatible Williams Sound receivers

include PPA R38, PPA R37, PPA R35-8 body packs and the PPA R1600 remote speaker.

Developed for hearing assistance in places of public access, the PPA T45 is designed for those who need help overcoming

background noise, reverberation, or distance from the sound source. It includes a complete audio processor optimized for the

needs of hearing impaired persons and is easily integrated with your existing sound system. The PPA T45 can also be used with a

microphone as a stand-alone system.

Your PPA T45 transmitter operates just like an FM radio station. The transmitter takes audio directly from a microphone or sound

system. This audio is then broadcast over an FM radio signal. FM radios can be worn by listeners or an AC powered amplied

speaker with built in receiver can be utilized as needed. The broadcast can be received up to 1000 ft from the transmitter *. This

allows listeners to sit anywhere in the area and listen to the broadcast at the volume level they need without disturbing others

around them.

Two models are available - one with Ethernet control (PPA T45NET) and one without Ethernet control (PPA T45). Ethernet control

allows the transmitter settings to be changed over a network with hard-wired or wireless devices (Figure 1).

*Range is dependent on the environment.

Power Supply Connection

Connect the TFP 048 power supply to the Power Supply Jack located on the rear of the PPA T45 transmitter (Figure 2).

Ethernet Connection

If connecting to a network, or connecting directly to a PC, a Standard or Crossover Ethernet cable may be used. The PPA

T45NET auto-senses the connection and congures itself for the Ethernet cable type being used.

Audio Source Connections

The T45 transmitter will accept the following audio sources:

1. Balanced Microphone on a 3-pin (XLR) connector without phantom power.

2. Balanced Microphone with 12 volt phantom power (DIN 45596) on a 3-pin (XLR) connector.

3. Balanced/Unbalanced microphone with or without phantom power on 1/4 inch (TRS) jack

4. Balanced/Unbalanced Line on a 3-pin (XLR) connector.

5. Balanced/Unbalanced Line on 1/4 inch (TRS) jack.

6. Digital Audio (AES/EBU) on a 3-pin (XLR) connector.

7. Digital Audio (S/PDIF) on an RCA jack.

WARNING:

The T45 is not designed to accept 70 volt speaker signals! This may result in damage to your system. The

sound source should come directly from the system mixer or digital source as a low-level or unprocessed

signal.

IMPORTANT: When a suitable audio source has been determined, you MUST congure the audio source in the menu

of the T45 before plugging that source in.

NOTE: FCC regulations, section 15.21, requires the user to comply with the rules of transmitter operation. Any

changes or modications made by the user not expressly approved for compliance may result in the loss of all

privileges and authority to operate the equipment.

Multi–Channel Sources

By constructing a simple resistive mixer, stereo (or 3 channel) sources can be connected to the T45. Additional channels can be

accommodated by adding a resistor for each source. Necessary resistors can be obtained from Williams Sound (Part Number

RFC 472) or from any local electronics parts supplier. See Figure 3.

Selecting an Audio source Appropriate for Hearing Impaired Listeners

If the T45 is going to be used specically for the accommodation of hearing impaired listeners, we recommend following these

general guidelines:

The PPA T45 transmits audio with excellent delity. Therefore, the audio source signal should be of the highest audio quality and

not subject to a compressor, limiter, reverberation, or other signal processing equipment. The T45 has a very effective DSP audio

processor. If compression is desired in the audio, refer to the “Compression” section under “Audio Settings - 1a. Audio Presets”

for available settings. Excessive compression is not helpful to the hearing impaired and can contribute to excessive noise in the

receiver outputs.

The T45 audio source signal is usually connected to a mixer’s “line output” signal which is behind the mixer’s parametric equalizers

but ahead of any equalization used for house loudspeakers.

If audio delay is available for use in large auditoriums, it’s usually best to use it. Because radio signals travel faster than sound,

delaying the transmitted audio so that an average listener (in the middle of the listening area) hears the transmitted audio a few

milliseconds after audio from the main sound reinforcement system speaker is helpful. This will also help audience members who

lip read.

Avoiding Hum in the Audio (as a Result of a Ground Loop)

A hum created by a ground loop can often be eliminated by connecting a capacitor in series with the audio line shield to the

transmitter’s ground. This method also maintains good RF shielding. Determining the effectiveness of this method for your

installation usually requires some experimentation. Necessary capacitors can be obtained from Williams Sound or from any

electronic parts supplier. See Figure 4.

NOTE: If the T45 is going to be rack mounted, you will not be able to install the ANT 025 whip antenna. For rack mounting,

consider installing a remote antenna like the ANT 005 or ANT 024 - these antennas require using the Remote Antenna

Coaxial Jack (above) and a long length of terminated coaxial cable. Another option is to mount the antenna on the

rack itself - consider the ANT 029 which includes a 1RU bracket and a 3ft terminated coaxial cable. For a full list of

antenna options, please go to our website www.williamssound.com and view the Antenna Application Guide under

“Products - Accessories - Antennas”.

Connecting the T45 to other Devices

The Analog LINE/MIC Input jack can be used with standard pro audio electronics such as standard pro audio line level,

condenser microphones up to 15v or an analog line output from a mixer. The combination jack accepts either XLR or 1/4” (TRS).

This source must be congured in the menu before plugging the source into the jack.

The RCA Audio Line Output jack can be used for monitoring, recording, or routing processed audio to another sound system.

The XLR Digital Line Input can be used with the output of a digital mixer or digital audio source. The processors inside the T45

convert the digital bitstream into usable audio.

The RCA S/PDIF Digital Line Input jack can be used with a device that has an RCA Digital Audio Out (also referred to as “Coaxial

Digital Audio” from consumer electronic devices. The processors inside the T45 convert the digital bitstream into usable audio.

The Remote Antenna Connection can be used to connect a remote antenna to the T45 when the whip antenna won’t be used

(as in the case of rack-mounting). See the Williams Sound Antenna Guide for a full range of antenna and mounting options (see

Figure 5).

The Ethernet Jack (PPA T45NET only) can be used to connect the T45NET to either (1) a local network or (2) directly to a single

computer. Both options can use either a standard Ethernet cable or a crossover cable. A crossover cable can be used, but is not

required to connect the T45 directly to a computer, because an internal MUX senses the device that is connected and crosses the

pins automatically.
